Thought I reconised Nika's style and charm "Call me"-Brandi. Too funny, I love it! Nika, you are a true Tifosi. (though I too would like to see the high-heel thing, I have enough trouble when I change to my supposed 'driving shoes' - I learned in the shoes I always wear! :P Best! Ben. | ||

DES...in high heels...bad visual, but sounds like a perfect outfit for the Nawlins event in October, DES. You'll fit right in with the freak show on Bourbon Street. | ||

As sappy as it may sound I have to thank many of you for supporting not only my love for the car but for my writing. Everyone has been very inspiring.....Des - bring a pair of high heels and I'll show you how. | ||

Nika, thanks for writing this great article. I have forwarded ot to my wife. You should SEE the looks she gets when she driver her silver 328!! The women huffily turn away, and the men's mouths are open so far, you'd think they were on a fly-catching expedition! And, after reading your article, I know you know exactly what I mean!!!  | ||

I use the high octane Sunoco premium - the car runs better on it. From experience I found that keepihg the car away from large temperature changes I find keeps the leather from cracking....I dont even have the facilities to keep it clean. I think I better find a bigger house! | ||

Nice article! A few questions though: doesn't a 308 have a pretty low compression ratio like 8.5:1 and use regular fuel? And why can't you keep your car in the garage? I keep my 72 Lotus in an unheated garage and drive it lots during the winter when the roads are dry. I live near Chicago and we have Canadian type winters more often than not. Having the car at home sure beats pining away for Spring even when I can't drive her! | ||
